David feels championship thrill while recovering

Jayson David had a tremendous PBA Philippine Cup stint that naturally, he was expected to be a key contributor for the Gin Kings in the Commissioner’s Cup that recently ended.

That was supposed to be the case, only for a season-ending injury to derail his march into a contributor and total stardom with the crowd-darlings.

From someone expected to lighten the load for the Kings, David turned into a spectator after tearing his left ACL in March in a game against the NLEX Road Warriors.

That, however, didn’t dampen his joy when Ginebra won its first title in three years after defeating TNT in Game 7 last Wednesday.

“I’m just so happy because I saw their dedication,” a beaming David told the Inquirer, alluding to his teammates. “Everyone really worked together while I’m sidelined and observing.

“They went through a lot, but now we won a championship and everyone, even me, can breathe better now.”

David has since had surgery and has begun going through rehab sessions, doing all that while being present every game for his Ginebra brothers.

And it’s a bittersweet feeling, the one of not being able to play and seeing his brothers win.

While he enjoys the support that Ginebra gives during his time of recovery, the tough-as-nails guard couldn’t help but feel like he could do more for his fellow Ginebra swingmen.

“I have this feeling since the playoffs came, when every time I see us trailing, I always think to myself, ‘sayang, if I was just there, I can help on defense to stop this player,’ but it’s okay,” he said.

“My teammates stepped up, so I’m happy that they got me a championship even if I’m not on the team this time,” David added.

Already undergoing therapy sessions, David expects to be back as early as February next year.

There has been a concerning update regarding a popular WWE star and their injury situation. The promotion is set for SummerSlam 2026 this weekend at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota.

The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Austin Theory battled Dragon Lee and Je’Von Evans earlier this month on WWE RAW. The Vision emerged victorious, and Dragon Lee suffered a thumb injury during the match.

Speaking on NotSam Wrestling, Lee shared a concerning update about his injury. The popular star noted that if he required surgery, he could miss 3-4 months of action, but he was hoping that would not be the case.

“I don’t know how long I will be out, but I don’t want to get surgery because if I get surgery, I’ll be out for 3-4 months, and I don’t want that,” he said.

The veteran also shared that he was told that he could “probably wrestle” with the injury and was hoping that the promotion would let him do so.

“They told me with this injury I can probably wrestle. Hopefully they will let me wrestle,” he added. (H/T: Ringside News)

Dragon Lee has been appearing on both RAW and AAA in recent months for the company. The 31-year-old captured the World Tag Team Championships alongside AJ Styles last year. Styles retired from in-ring competition following his loss to Gunther at Royal Rumble 2026.

“I feel honored to be part of his last matches, and even John Cena’s last match [event], I was part of that too. I feel like you know so many things that I’m proud of myself, you know, because if you’re not, if you don’t recognize yourself, who else will? You just look at the mirror and say, ‘You’re doing well, keep working. I’m proud of you, brother. Keep working.’ My family, that’s it, that’s all the energy I need.” said Lee [H/T: INSIGHT]
